20080225957 | Dynamic packet size control for MPEG-4 data partition mode - A dynamic AC prediction technique is implemented in a data partition mode which automatically disables AC prediction for encoding the current macroblock in the next packet when packet overflow occurs. Otherwise, when there is no overflow, AC prediction remains enabled to maintain compression efficiency. More particularly, in the preferred embodiment, a determination is first made whether a macroblock causes a packet overflow if it is encoded in the current packet. If so, a new packet is initiated into which the macroblock is encoded without AC prediction as the first macroblock. Otherwise, the macroblock with AC prediction remains in the current packet and a new macroblock is encoded. | 09-18-2008 |

20120170446 | Method and Inquiring Device for Implementing Switching in Network Fault - A method for implementing switching when the network is faulted is disclosed, and the method includes: establishing a quick detection mechanism between non-querier and querier; the non-querier using the detection mechanism for performing a real-time detection on the querier and downlink of the querier; switching the non-querier to be the querier when the non-querier detects that the querier or the downlink of the querier is faulted. A querier is further disclosed. With the method, it can complete a quick switching of the querier and a quick transmission of a multicast flow when the querier or the downlink thereof is faulted, thereby reducing the interrupt time of users receiving the multicast flow, implementing a quick protection of a multicast service, and improving the service experience for the user. | 07-05-2012 |
20140244656 | TRANS-COMMUNITY SEARCH METHOD AND APPARATUS - A trans-community search method and apparatus is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a search request from a user and determining online communities used by the user according to user attribute information contained in the search request; generating a sub-search request corresponding to each online community used by the user according to the search request and acquiring a search result corresponding to the sub-search request; combining search results corresponding to all sub-search requests and sending the combined search results to the user. The invention can improve search efficiency for users. | 08-28-2014 |
20140317117 | METHOD, DEVICE AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIA FOR USER PREFERENCES INFORMATION COLLECTION - Disclosed are a method, device and computer storage media for user preferences information collection belonging to the computer field. The method comprises: extracting keywords which the user operation involved in the process; determining whether there is the same tag with the keyword in the pre-set tag library; if determining that there is the same tag with the keyword in the pre-set tag library, storing the same tag with the keyword into the user personal tag library. The present invention can improve the coverage and accuracy of user preferences information collection by extracting the keywords which the user operation involved in daily applications and storing the same name tag with the extracted keyword into the user personal tag library. | 10-23-2014 |

20120262921 | LOW PROFILE LIGHT AND ACCESSORY KIT FOR THE SAME - A luminaire includes a heat spreader; a heat sink; an LED light source; a power supply; an electrical supply line having a first end connected to the power supply, and a second end connected to a plug-in connector; and, an optic securely retained relative to the heat spreader or heat sink. An accessory kit includes a first pre-wired jumper including a pair of insulated electrical wires having a first plug-in connector electrically connected at one end and an Edison base electrically connected at the other end; and/or, a second pre-wired jumper including a pair of insulated electrical wires having a second plug-in connector electrically connected at one end and unconnected wire ends at the other end. The plug-in connector of the first pre-wired jumper and the second pre-wired jumper are each configured to electrically engage with the plug-in connector of the electrical supply line. | 10-18-2012 |
20140104847 | LOW PROFILE LIGHT AND ACCESSORY KIT FOR SAME - A luminaire includes a heat spreader, a heat sink, a light source and an outer optic. The heat sink is substantially ring-shaped and is disposed around and in thermal communication with an outer periphery of the heat spreader. The light source is disposed in thermal communication with the heat spreader, the light source having a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that are disposed in thermal communication with the heat spreader. The outer optic is disposed in optical communication with the plurality of LEDs. The heat spreader, the heat sink and the outer optic, in combination, have an overall height H and an overall outside dimension D such that the ratio of H/D is so dimensioned as to: cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch can light fixture; and, cover an opening defined by a nominally sized four-inch electrical junction box. | 04-17-2014 |
